Chapter 5
The crowd was in an uproar.
The expression on my face froze, and my mind went blank.
That voice, I was extremely familiar with it.
I thought I would never see you in this lifetime, but I didn’t expect to meet you so soon.
My heart skipped a beat, feeling that intense gaze
Maxwell turned around and glanced back, saying unkindly, “Veronica, you continue, don’t mind
him.”
Seeing that I didn’t move, Maxwell raised the sign.
I reached out and tugged at his sleeve.
“Never mind, let’s go.”
I pulled Maxwell up and pretended to calmly walk past Bronson.
As he passed by, a big hand suddenly grabbed my wrist, and I jerked away as if being haunted by a
ghost.
Because of this sudden swing, I almost lost my balance, but luckily Maxwell promptly supported
- me.
“Bronson, that ring looks really nice. Can you help me put it on later?”
The sweet voice was like a thorn, making me scratch my ears and cheeks.
Bronson paused for a moment, then whispered, “Okay.”
I stopped for a moment, and then hurriedly left the auction house.
I took deep breaths of fresh air, trying to suppress the surge in my chest.
Maxwell’s face turned serious, and his voice lowered slightly.
“Veronica, is that Bronson?”
I slowed down my movements and nodded slowly under Maxwell’s questioning gaze.
He gasped twice and gritted his teeth, saying, “Damn it, unfaithful man, I’m going to teach him a lesson.”
Maxwell was furious, his posture was so aggressive that he seemed to want to tear Bronson’s skin
off.
Chapter 5
I grabbed him in a hurry and said, “Don’t cause trouble, I have nothing to do with him anymore.”
it doesn’t concern me anymore what happens to Bronson.
Since it’s over,
The tie should be cut, and it should be cut clean. As Maxwell and I were pulling, a mocking voice
suddenly sounded.
“Veronica, you were amazing. You left five years ago because of another man.”
“I left now, but it was because of another man.”
“Are you so desperate and lowly?”
He almost gritted his teeth as he said the last few words.
My heart ached for a moment, and I lowered my gaze, suppressing the bitterness in my eyes.
“Bronson, you had no right to accuse me.”
Bronson sneered, “No qualifications? Don’t forget, you’re carrying my child, carrying my seed, and you say I have no qualifications?”
He spoke with sarcasm in every sentence, and his eyes were filled with mockery and derision.
In the past two years of reunion, I thought Bronson hadn’t changed, but now I realize that he had already changed.
He became no longer gentle, filled with hatred inside.
No, he was still gentle, but that touch of tenderness was no longer given to me.
My heart gradually calmed down.
Without waiting for me to speak, Maxwell seemed to understand something.
He looked at me incredulously, “Pregnant? The surgery you mentioned, was actually…?”
I nodded in his disbelief.
Maxwell suddenly threw a punch at Bronson as if he had gone mad.
“You bastard, I fucking killed you.”
Punch after punch, almost every punch hit the flesh.
Bronson quickly reacted after receiving a few blows and engaged in a scuffle with his opponent.
You adulterer, how come you lost your temper before me?”
“Veronica, your eyesight worsened.”

I hurriedly went to pull Maxwell, “Stop fighting, Maxwell.”
Just as I touched him, he accidentally swung and knocked me down to the ground.
A surge of pain shot up from my tailbone, causing me to inhale sharply and emit a soft hiss.
In a glance, I saw Nathalie helplessly hiding in the corner, her belly arched, and her hands carefully protecting it.
She had the ring from the auction on her right hand middle finger.
I closed my eyes, and the volume increased a bit.
“Maxwell, I told you to stop.”
He paused for a moment, looking at me in disbelief.
I propped myself up and pulled him over, looking at the bruise on the corner of his mouth. I sighed.
“Let’s go, I have no connection with him anymore. Don’t hurt yourself for someone who is not
worth it.”
